What is restorative practice?

Restorative Practice enables all people who have been impacted by a conflict to meet to talk about what has happened and hear how people have been impacted. It’s a voluntary process where all parties have the opportunity to meet face to face to cooperatively decide what can be done to provide restitution and prevent any further harm.

The process allows for reflection, learning and the opportunity of understanding to take place, to repair harm and restore relationships where possible. We have seen the positive social change that is possible when restorative practice is applied in neighbourhoods, schools, workplaces and communities.
